I couldn't recommend it for a holiday album, however.Dj Buddy Beaverhausenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13513490843111098085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542613724497218418.post-84908773149553799662011-11-05T20:25:49.350-07:002011-11-05T20:25:49.350-07:00Daniel, I think even non-Jewish artists put out Ch...Daniel, I think even non-Jewish artists put out Christmas albums with commercial intents the primary goal.<br /><br />"You only know 'The Dreidel Song' because there is not really any Hebrew Liturgical music that is for the masses" -- absolutely true. (Or any liturgical songs for the masses?) Bette Midler was asked, in a tv interview in the US, why her Xmas album included no Chanukah songs. She laughed,"That would have to be a 45!"
